The limitation on setting the region on DVD drives is in the firmware of the drive, once you set the region, if you change it, you will use up one of the 5 changes allowed and after you get to 0, the drive will not allow you to change the region again. If you download and install libdvdcss2 from PLF sources, Xine should be able to play dvd's from any region without mucking with changing the region code on the drive. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
